Of and on, I have struggled to find a colour space that is expressive enough for printing, but convenient to access through ConTeXt for day-to-day usage. I find with X11 that the emphasis on screen skews the colours to be brighter than what is desired, especially if one is dealing with coloured stock---say beige kraft---as I am doing with my current bit of typesetting.
In this process I have come across the RAL colour space:

whose values can be conveniently (sort of) accessed at:
For my immediate needs, I have simply created a set of:
\definecolor[<colourName>][h=HHHHHH]
However, I am wondering if it might make sense to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? So my questions would be:
1. Is the RAL colour space a decent one for printing purposes? What would be disadvantages, if not?
2. Does colo-imp-ral.mkiv exist already?
it's not in the distribution so it doesn't exist
3. If not, would others find it useful to have a colo-imp-ral.mkiv? If it doesn't then I would be happy to prepare one and submit it.
